Transfer of Vehicle Ownership
Transfer Your Vehicle’s Ownership Easily with Friends RTO Consultants
Buying or selling a used vehicle? By law, you must transfer ownership with the RTO to reflect the new owner’s name on the RC (Registration Certificate). Friends RTO Consultants ensures a smooth, legally compliant ownership transfer process without the usual paperwork hassles, whether you’re an individual, a dealer, or a corporate fleet manager.
What is Vehicle Ownership Transfer?
Transfer of Vehicle Ownership refers to the legal process of updating the vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC) to reflect the new owner’s name. This ensures that the new owner is officially responsible for the vehicle, including its taxes, insurance, traffic challans, and legal liabilities.
Who Needs to Transfer Ownership?
Ownership transfer is required when:
- You sell your vehicle (bike, car, commercial vehicle) to another person or business
- A vehicle owner passes away, and the legal heir needs to claim the vehicle
- You’re buying a repossessed vehicle through a loan agency or government auction
- You are transferring ownership within family or corporate structures
Important: Failing to transfer ownership can result in the previous owner being held liable for accidents, penalties, or unpaid dues related to the vehicle.
Step-by-Step Process for Ownership Transfer
The steps vary slightly depending on the reason for the transfer (sale, death, auction), but here is the general process:
- Sale Agreement & Initial Document Collection
– Prepare a sale agreement, collect ID proofs of buyer and seller. - Form Submission
– Fill and submit Form 29 and Form 30 at the current RTO. - Address & ID Verification
– RTO verifies documents, identity, and address of both parties. - Road Tax & Challan Check
– Clearance for any outstanding dues or challans. - NOC (if Inter-RTO Transfer)
– NOC may be required if transferring to another RTO or state. - Fee Payment & Acknowledgment
– Pay applicable fees; receive receipt. - RC Update & Delivery
– RTO issues a new RC in the buyer’s name, physically or digitally.
